IT’S PICTURE DAY!

“But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees with his reply, they met together to question him again. One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question: “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is...

AREN’T YOU GOING TO GET READY?

‘But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all...

PREPARATION DAY

Today is your preparation day, as should be every Saturday, because I just know you spend a lot of time getting ready to enter the Lord’s house for worship every Sunday. You should be shaking your head up and down, in the affirmative. In times past, every Saturday, the Sunday meal was prepared in advance and the aroma from the food being readied made you hope that the night would really pass...

THE DAY BEFORE TOMORROW

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24 KJV) I know!  The heading above sounds title like a movie title of a feature file that has a catastrophic event that changes life on earth, “The Day After Tomorrow.” The latter refers to a disaster. The title I have chosen relates to deliverance.  The movie title refers to an emergency....

KINDNESS DAY

“…love is kind...” (I Corinthians 13:4 NASB) Other than Monday, you have put up with some pretty long meditations this week, and you patiently, without perturbed criticism, you overlooked my typos and understood what I was trying to communicate.  I’ll do better with my “Pastoreez,” in my early morning writing in the future.  With that being said, let me reward you with a...

THE RESTART

“This day belongs to the Lord!” (Psalm 118:24 Contemporary English Version) You who know me are aware that my greatest challenge is patience, particularly when thing do not go as scheduled, for I am a punctual person.  Punctual meaning, in my understanding, being early than the usual start time.  Well, this morning I had not written one single word when I got up at 1:15 a.m. ...

THE DAY BEFORE TOMORROW

“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.” (Psalm 143:8 NIV) In the Old Testament, the Hebrews observed the Sabbath on the seventh day, totally in line with God resting on the seventh day after creation.  In New Testament times, with some exceptions, the Sabbath or the Sabbat is observed on Sunday by most Christians.  Some still observe...

PREQUEL, SEQUEL…WHAT ABOUT THE “QUEL”

“…for we walk by faith, not by sight —….” (2 Corinthians 5:7 The Amplified Bible) Here is you Monday Short meditation, perfect for a holiday morning.  We know that a prequel tells the story before a particular event.  We also know the that a sequel is a continuation, telling what happens after a particular event.  But what about the “quel?”  What about the...

HAVE A GOOD DAY!

“And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.” (Genesis 1:31 NASB) Have you ever entered or exited a big-box grocery store and the greeter positioned at the door told you, if you were lucky, to “Have a good day?”  Did you sense any sincerity behind their inquiry?  Or did it sound like just something they...
